A Dream Not Deferred
I stare in amazement,
As you stand and scream...
My heart screams but my lips don't move in parallel...
We all flee,
All but you,
To safety they run,
To you I sprint...
I grab your hand and pull,
But you are as if cemented,
I lift, pull, and tug to my best but your legs are stubborn...
You continue to scream as fear approaches us both,
I look up to see...
My eyes crack open,
Heavy from peaceful sleep,
The intensity from the dream still lingers,
As immediately I begin to scribble in my pad.
They say dreams are metaphorical representations,
Of everyday situations,
Or internal struggle...
LESSON LEARNED:
No matter how bad you want to help someone,
The have to WANT and DESIRE help,
You can't help the truly helpless...
